Luo Shenyuan naturally did not push her away. His hand holding the book suddenly tightened, and he seemed to be stunned.
Yi Ning let go of him and tried to leave, but Luo Shenyuan held her hand, and then with a force, she fell into his arms. Naturally, the book in his hand fell.
Luo Shenyuan restrained her hands and whispered to her, "Yining, don't tease me. You are still young, understand?"
"I was wrong. Do you want to eat grapes?"
She sat in his arms, quickly picked up the grape plate, and smiled, "Let me peel them for you?"
Luo Shenyuan let her go and let her sit down. He picked up the book that had just fallen and, as a punishment, gestured, "Continue peeling the grapes."
He continued to read, but he didn't read a single word in the book. His fingers stroked the pages, and his mind was always filled with the image of her leaning over just now, making it difficult for him to calm down.

The beginning of winter had passed in the blink of an eye, and the leaves outside the courtyard had fallen clean. Yining was helping Lin Hairu with the accounts. Each family had received new winter clothes and cured meat, and the farm had also sent some early New Year's goods.
With her leisurely days, Yi Ning had actually gained a few pounds and grown a bit taller. But not much, it seemed she'd only barely reached Luo Shenyuan's shoulders, and she wouldn't grow much further. This worried Yi Ning, so she'd often ask the kitchen to make bone soup. She also used a lot of goat's milk and other ingredients.
Look, he hasn't grown much taller, but he's getting taller.
Lin Hairu pinched Yining's wrist and looked at it carefully, then told her, "You have a naturally small frame, so don't bother with it. Eat carefully and get back to your original fat self."
Yining is really fed up with these things and has been trying to change his taste these days.
When calculating the monthly allowance for Concubine Guo, the accounts didn't match. Yi Ning took a closer look and found that the expenses for Luo Xuanyuan's room had been increased. Luo Chengzhang had given him two more maids.
"Your father was very kind to Xuan-ge'er." Lin Hairu listened to Yi Ning's words and said indifferently, "If your third brother wasn't here, your father would definitely have devoted all his efforts to training him."
A little later, Luo Xuanyuan came from the outer courtyard to pay his respects. He was currently studying at the Cheng family's clan school and rarely came to pay his respects.
Lin Hairu asked him directly about the girl.
Luo Xuanyuan's face, which resembled his third brother's youth, showed a hint of a smile. "Don't worry, mother. I've already asked the two little girls to serve Auntie. I don't need them. If third brother asks, please help me explain."
Yi Ning always felt a little confused when looking at him. Fortunately, compared with Luo Shenyuan, Luo Xuanyuan was more handsome, otherwise they would be even more similar.
"It doesn't matter how many maids you use, as long as you study hard." Lin Hairu could only say these few honest words to Luo Xuanyuan, and then let Luo Xuanyuan leave.
Luo Xuanyuan nodded respectfully and took his leave. His tall and thin figure soon disappeared.
Yi Ning looked at his back and said thoughtfully: "Mrs. Guo taught him well, but I think he is more sensible and has a strong character."
"Anyway, with your third brother here, he can't possibly turn the tables. If he dares to do anything weird, your third brother will kill him... Don't look at his young age, he is very smart." Lin Hairu is uneducated, but he is not really stupid.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You have to go to the wedding with me in a few days." Lin Hairu said with a smile, "It's the fourth young master of the Cheng family, your cousin Cheng Lang, marrying Xie Yun. The news of this marriage has caused a stir in half of the capital. The Empress personally awarded the dowry, and the Emperor even sent someone to give Xie Yun a complete set of phoenix crowns and bridal robes. The crown is inlaid with countless sea pearls and gems, it's so dazzling. It's almost as grand as when the princess got married. The people of the Cheng family walk with a breeze now."
Yining remembered that Xie Yun's wedding was very grand, with red makeup stretching for ten miles and a huge procession.
There are less than five days left, I didn’t expect it to be so fast.
Cheng Lang will eventually marry Xie Yun.
